The Eviolite (Japanese: しんかのきせき Evolution Stone) is a type of held item introduced in Generation V. It boosts the Defense and Special Defense of a Pokémon that holds it if the holder is not fully evolved.
In the core series games

Effect
If held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, raises its Defense and Special Defense by 50%.
The Eviolite only affects Pokémon if their form and species has non-zero value in their "personal data", (internal data that determines the basic traits of any given Pokémon), for an evolution method, regardless of whether that evolution method is legitimately accessible.
While this functions as expected for most species/forms, there are some notable unusual cases such as instances where an evolution method "exists" but isn't accessible, as well as some hardcoded exclusions:
- If only the regional form of a species can evolve, only the regional form is affected by the Eviolite.[1]
- Meltan is not affected by the Eviolite, because it cannot evolve in the core series games, only capable of evolving while in Pokémon GO.
- It does not affect Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, or Eternal Flower Floette, as those specific forms have no evolution method coded, even if the base species is capable of evolving.
- It does not affect Pikachu, Meowth, or Eevee while they have the Gigantamax Factor, as they are hardcoded not to evolve unless the Gigantamax Factor is removed via Max Soup.[2]
- It does affect male Combee and Salandit, despite male members of the species not being capable of evolution, (as they are the same species and form as their female counterparts and therefore share the "non-zero evolution value" in their personal data).
- It still affects certain Pokémon that are capable of evolution, even if it is/was not currently possible to meet the requirements for their evolution.[3]
- In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Galarian Slowpoke was affected by Eviolite before the Galarica Cuff or Galarica Wreath were made available via the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, respectively.
- In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it affects Ursaring and Stantler despite their evolution methods being currently inaccessible within Scarlet and Violet.
- Dipplin was affected even before Hydrapple was introduced in the following The Indigo Disk DLC.
- Hisuian Qwilfish was affected even before The Indigo Disk allowed it to be able to evolve into Overqwil.
- If held by a transformed Pokémon, the boost is based on its original species, not the species it is transformed into.

When this Trainer card is attached to a Basic Pokémon, any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 20, after applying Weakness and Resistance.
Trivia
- Eviolite's name may be derived from evolution and the -ite suffix found in the names of many minerals.
